As the audio and video is interlinked if you slow down the video you'll slow down the audio.
You'll need to seperate (unlink) the video and audio, so that the video portion will play slowly whilst the audio continues at normal speed.
Of course, the audio will then finish much sooner than the video, so you'll need to either have silent pauses or add extra audio to cover these gaps.

I'm a little confused, you're wanting each frame of a video clip to pause? Or are you wanting each video clip to pause before another starts? Waaay different.

You are aware that a video clip has numerous frames. For NTSC video that's 29.97 frames for each second of video. For PAL it is 25 frames for each second of video. If you're wanting each frame of a video clip to pause, you will need to first separate the audio from the video, done by right-clicking on the video clip, selecting Split audio. Then you will need to zoom your timeline into Frame size. Now cut your video at each frame.

If you're wanting a pause between video clips, it's just a matter of putting a filler like a color block between them.

Finally could you be referring to photos in your project, and having a music clip? If so then you just need to adjust the duration of your photo. This can done easily by grabbing the yellow handle on the right side and dragging it.
